Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Add the butter to the mixture and mix until it becomes crumbly.
Stir in the egg and press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan.
Scatter the blueberries over the crust, pressing them gently into the mixture.
Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Pour the filling over the blueberries.
Bake for 60 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing.

Notes

If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the crust.
The cake will continue to firm up as it cools, ensuring a more set filling.
